Very friendly and helpful with different walking tracks after our original hike was cancelled. Rooms were nice and tidy, and plenty of space in the shared kitchen area
Shanna, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was exactly what we needed - only stayed overnight but a short walk into town to pick up a few things. The kitchen was very well equipped with our own dishes and the lounge had a pool table. Property is very well maintained. I would recommend highly.

Cleanliness excellent...... basic rooms with communal kitchen and lounge.... Very helpful and pleasant staff if you need anything . Outdoor eating area was fun as we metmany folk from different countries on holiday .Good value for money .The complex was set in lovely grounds and was also back from the main road which made sleeping quieter than many other places inTurangi.We shall return.
